Long Shadow: The Lingering Questions of 9/11

PODCAST

#1 Apple History Podcast
“Rigorous, authoritative and an electrifying listen.” — The Financial Times

Many Americans watched the terrorist attacks on September 11th, 2001 unfold right before our eyes. What happened on 9/11 and how it changed our world is the most important story of the modern age. It’s the hinge on which so much changed. But in the years since the history we’ve come to tell of that day is incomplete—and sometimes wrong.

Hosted by journalist Garrett Graff, author of the bestselling book THE ONLY PLANE IN THE SKY: AN ORAL HISTORY OF 9/11, “Long Shadow” examines the questions that linger two decades later and the enduring mysteries that still surround 9/11, the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil. This is a different history of September 11th than you likely remember. But it’s one that will help you make sense of the world the attacks left behind.

WHILE THE REST OF US DIE: SECRETS OF AMERICA’S SHADOW GOVERNMENT

VICE TV SERIES (2nd Season)

Narrated by Golden Globe​® Award-winning actor Jeffrey Wright (HBO’s Westworld)​, this explosive multi-season series takes a hard look in the American political mirror and asks why we all feel so uncertain about our daily lives and our future.

In the show’s first season, based on Garrett M. Graff’s bestseller, RAVEN ROCK, viewers are taken through a shadow world that allows for some of the greatest American injustices—whether it’s the current COVID-19 disaster, the neglect of our military service members, ​or Hurricane Katrina victims being allowed to languish by the Department of Homeland Security— to not only go unchecked but serve the needs of an elite few, resulting in one pointed message: you paid for it, but this secret world is not built for you.

Season 2 similarly explores big questions and unravels the secret histories of how our society got to its unjust and unequal state, including stories of how the wealthy and powerful have benefited themselves at our expense through the pandemic; how toxic chemicals have been allowed to pervade our environment; how deregulation has fueled natural disasters; how billionaires and corporations are behind America’s biggest addiction epidemic; how Native peoples were the victims of atomic testing; the injustices and absurdities of a billionaire space race, and more.
